The task has already begun.
Both girls understood the current situation. Although Uncle Hero is nowhere to be seen, he must be hiding sowhere, secretly watching them. They must perform well and not disappoint Uncle Hero.
"Eva, why don’t we split up and look around first? Although it’s not ti yet, establishing target locations in advance is crucial. Whoever finds them first should quickly notify the other, so we can identify the Wandering Spirits’ haunts as soon as possible."
"Okay, I’ll check the western district, you take the east. I’m on communication channel B13470; let’s stay in touch."
Su Kuangkuan and Eva discussed briefly and prepared to search separately, then left the original spot one after the other.
Before leaving, Su Kuangkuan took out two small compass-like items from the Storage Space, handing one to Eva. As they walked towards the depths of the dim streets, they both glanced at the compasses in their hands.
"Well, these little girls have wealthy family backgrounds, directly pulling out the Spirit-detecting Compasses installed with ’stability’ and ’range amplification’ Dark Spirit Circuits, advanced models..."
On the other side, inside the Anti-gravity Car, Brother Hero almost choked on his water when he saw what the girls were holding.
The price of these compasses is not cheap; ordinary Dark Spirits cannot afford them. Only top-tier Super Second Generations like Su Kuangkuan and Eva can use them.
"No, no, this feels like cheating. I have to talk to Old Su later; pampering a sister shouldn’t go this far. Using a set of Divine Equipnt to bully novices in the starter village won’t bring much improvent..."
Brother Hero spoke while tearing open a hamburger he had just bought from a roadside fast-food shop—since there were no vending machines nearby, he had to settle for this. Chewing heartily, he operated single-handedly, constantly monitoring the girls’ movents through the holographic projection in front of him.
"Hmm... They just joined the communication channel but didn’t establish a spiritual sharing connection, which is problematic. If they encounter a monster with a special force field, the communicator is likely to fail. Then, the team mbers wouldn’t be able to contact each other promptly if an accident occurs. Don’t assu everything’s easy just because the monster hasn’t appeared yet. I need to jot this down and deduct points later..."
He said while grabbing a paper and pen, quickly jotting down notes.
anwhile, Su Kuangkuan arrived in front of a tall apartnt building. This horizontally structured building is 4 stories high and about 70 ters long, renowned as a large rental apartnt in this street.
Due to the influence of Anti-gravity Cars, the number of residents in the apartnt has drastically reduced, down to nearly half the usual number, leaving it quite empty.
Those still willing to live here are either short-term stayers or those who temporarily can’t afford cars or find new jobs, continuing to live here.
Fortunately, given the current market situation, overall rental prices have declined, alleviating so of the pressure on the residents’ lives.
Su Kuangkuan imdiately selected this location as the target. The building is undoubtedly the most noticeable landmark in the street, and since most other houses had their lights off, she instinctively chose to check here.
"Huh? Why isn’t there any reaction from the Spirit Compass? Are there no spatial anomalies nearby?"
The girl tapped the compass twice, but it didn’t help. According to the display, everything around remained calm and showed no signs of anomalies.
"Ah!"
At that mont, a shout rang out, and Su Kuangkuan quickly looked up, realizing the sound ca from a lit room on the fourth floor.
"Sothing’s up!"
Her eyes imdiately brightened, and she moved swiftly upstairs.
"Bang!"
The door of the unit made a symbolic sound as it was forced open, and Su Kuangkuan raced to the door of the apartnt where the noise ca from.
"Eva! Eva! I found sothing; you must co quickly!"
While running, she didn’t forget to notify her partner to gather quickly.
The apartnt corridor was shrouded in darkness; the hallway lights had long broken down without repair. Only one or two were still flickering occasionally, adding an intermittently eerie atmosphere to the mission.
Su Kuangkuan reached the door of the apartnt; it was tightly shut with a faint yellow light filtering through the gaps, sotis flickering.
"Ah!"
Another shout echoed, mixed with a monster’s roar and a man’s hushed voice.
Assuming soone was in danger, Su Kuangkuan hesitated for a brief mont, then decisively crashed through the door.
"Bang!"
"Thud!"
"Ah ah ah!!"
The sounds of crashing door, heavy item falling, and a woman’s scream resonated together.
Monts later, Su Kuangkuan stood bewildered at the doorway, nervously clutching her sleeve, visibly embarrassed.
Inside was a man and woman; the man sat on the floor, and the woman hid in the couch. The three of them exchanged glances montarily, rendering the air exceptionally silent.
"Who are you! Why did you crash into my ho door like that! Are you crazy!"
